I wonder if we'll do the medical etc tomorrow or give him a days rest to recover

Every Chelsea fan needs a "day's rest to recover."

Aye I was at work reading a lot and watching videos. 
Going to get a talk tomorrow as to why I was idle a lot!

Her use of the word intelligent strikes me as careless and potentially misleading. I think I get what she means but she needs to describe it more accurately.

Rom is in fact a very bright guy, in IQ terms. Indeed it's that intelligence which has enabled him to make the most of his attributes despite some clear limitations. He can learn just as quickly as the next striker but he lacks the technical tools to put the lessons into practice.

Was going to say the same. She thinks Lukaku is dumb or something. Bloke can speak like 4 languages fluently.

Pat Nevin: "I wrote a piece on the Chelsea website about three months ago. I asked the fans: 'Who would you like most as a centre-forward?'

"There were three names that came up. Number three was Lukaku, number two was [Alexis] Sanchez, and number one? Morata."

She was certainly referring to footballing IQ, or lack thereof in Lukaku's game. Which is something I can agree with.

James would have been a useless, overpriced cnut who cannot play effectively where we need new players, so forget him.

Over priced yes, but  I think if we doesn't gloat about how talented he is and just focus on his game then I think he would be good

Ofc she was, what else could it be? It's appalling people think commentators are there to comment how smart as a person a player is. Don't how how people interpreted it any other way.

She is still wrong, there is many aspects of the game. Such generalization is ridiculous. Lukaku is much more smarter player in the box and off the ball. Morata is better than him on the ball and outside of the box.

Generally fans with poor understanding of the game label a player lacking football IQ/intelligence based on one or few aspects of the game. For example Angel Di maria is a great example of such misunderstanding. He is not a great decision maker in the final third, so he is often labeled a player lacking intelligence. But if you you looked very closely of  his understanding from a tactical and positional sense you wouldn't think that. Also if you considered that ADM can play almost every position on the pitch and play that position really well you might think otherwise.

Again, I 100% trust Conte, but I have to admit that Morata's movement kind of reminds me of Torres. You know, the Chelsea Torres. He's going to have to deal with a lot of pressure and he needs to score quickly. A few games in a row without finding the back of the net would make it very very hard for him.

He reminds me of Torres too. I was thinking it as I sat watching videos of him. It's scaring me big time... let's hope he emulates a young Torres who played for scum.

"Matt Law, who tends to be on the ball when it comes to Chelsea news, claims that Morata will arrive at Stamford Bridge for a fee of £58M plus add-ons, considerably lower than the previously reported £70M."

 

Well done Marina
